Man charged in fatal shooting of two deputies

LARGO, Md. (AP)  A man was charged with first-degree murder Saturday in the fatal shootings of two deputies who tried to take him away for psychiatric care.

James R. Logan, 23, was taken into custody earlier in the day, ending a 30-hour manhunt, authorities said.

Undercover officers on routine surveillance found Logan in the boiler room of an apartment complex, two miles from where the deputies died Thursday night in Adelphi, police said.

Police said Logan ran but was cornered and police dogs bit him on the ankle and arm. He was jailed after being treated for dog bites.

Logan is accused of gunning down Cpl. James V. Arnaud, 53, and Deputy Sheriff Elizabeth Licera Magruder, 30. The deputies had been sent to Logan's parents' home to take him in for an emergency psychiatric evaluation requested by his family.
